I think its part of the vision of the future to have the powergrid upgraded for modern times. Its part of that "building America" vision we all had when President Obama was campaigning for the job. There are so many items of housekeeping that we desperately need to address. Its why people are pissed off when paying taxes. When you can't see your tax money being used for tangible betterment of the country, it seems like wasted money to had over hard earned money to the Govt.

We could even "marry" solar power into this re-build. Putting individual solar or wind power on homes would help from using so much fossil fuel for the big power plants.
